Amy's mattar tofu with cilantro rice
A jar of Amy's curried peas and tofu becomes dinner in minutes when you warm it and serve it over cilantro rice. The curry is mild and complex, already finished, so this is just assembly and heat. Scatter fresh herbs on top to brighten what's already cooked.

To buy
- small bunch cilantro
- 1 lime
From your shelf
- 1 jar Indian mattar tofu curried peas & tofu with dal
Staples
- 3/4 cup rice
- 1 tablespoon butter
- to taste salt
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1.5 cups water
- Bring 1.5 cups water to a boil in a pot with 1 tablespoon butter, mince 2 garlic cloves into it, and stir in 3/4 cup rice with a pinch of salt. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook 15 minutes until the water is absorbed.
- While the rice cooks, open the jar of Amy's mattar tofu and pour the curry into a saucepan over medium heat, stirring now and then until it steams and bubbles gently, about 8 minutes.
- When the rice is done, fluff it with a fork and stir in a handful of torn cilantro leaves. Divide the rice between two bowls and pour the warm curry over the top.
- Squeeze lime juice over each bowl and finish with more fresh cilantro. Taste for salt and add more if needed.
Note Swap fresh cilantro for dried if needed, using half the amount. Leftovers keep in the fridge three days; rewarm gently with a splash of water. Serve with quick pickled onions or a crisp salad on the side to balance the richness.
